What about the users who post content? Are they expected to get something too? Youtube and Twitch pay people who make content, in addition to paying moderators.

Twitch moderators get paid? That is news to me. Where do I sign up!

Yeah, I was wrong about that. Moderators don't get paid by Twitch (but some do get paid by the channel[1]). But Twitch Admins do get paid by Twitch[2].
Interesting that Twitch is sort of flipped from what remote_phone is proposing. Mods are not paid, but content creators are paid.

While the comment insinuated they were paid by Twitch (Amazon), the reality is some of the biggest channels _do_ pay their channel moderators (creator to mods). A big example of this is CohhCarnage[0].
